  1. Graphtec 9000 problems with cutting

    My friend has a graphtec 9000 that he uses for paint protection film and it keeps skipping the left side of the cut. For example if he is cutting a bumper, it will cut the entire bumper except for the left side inside the pinch roller. It does it whether it is a 10" wide or 50" and always does...
  2. SEAL 62 Base

    For anyone looking for Seal parts. I submitted a part request on gbc.com for image guide bar and they emailed a response quote back within a hour. The image guide cost $124+ shipping and was shipped the same day. I found the image guide listed on other website for $175-$250. Lesson for the...
  3. SEAL 62 Base

    Yeah it is shitty considering that is a $175-$250 add on option depending on where you buy it. Does the optical eye laser shoot through the center of the guide? Does the guide attach to the laminator through those pins?
  4. Graphtec fc8000 54" stand and roller brackets WANTED

    Anyone know where I can find a 54" base/stand for my viny express q54" vinyl cutter? I contacted a few places and they said that the model was discontinued and they do not support of sell parts for them anymore. I have the rollers but need the stand/base and the brackets for the rollers. Thanks-
  5. SEAL 62 Base

    I am getting annoyed with my Seal bas2 62" laminator. It has a very sensitive safety optical eye sensor that is triggered when the vinyl buckles a small amount before feeding into the rollers. I know I read some post earlier about adjusting the eye and possibly removing or unhooking it which I...
  6. Question First $1,000,000 in sales?

    Definitely interested. I watched a few of your videos and your company looks like an awesome place to work at. You really seem to make your employees feel important and part of the team. I love hearing success stories of businesses starting out in small garages and basements...the true...
  7. Outsourcing vinyl prints

    Anyone know where I can outsource 6mil. vinyl decals? I found a few sites who screen print them but I need them to be 13"x23". They don't have to be laminated.
  8. DTG Shirt Quality

    Looks like it wasn't pretreated properly or at all. I don't have a DTG but was looking into buying one. All of the information I read was that the dark shirts need to be pretreated in order for the white ink to properly adhere to the shirt. If you don't pretreat the shirts then the ink will be...
  9. Switching from Triangle mild solvent to eco solvent

    I am running a Mimaki jv33 and planning on switching from Triangle MMS ink to Triangle Edx ink. Has anyone ever switched these out without flushing the old ink out? Anyone ever use the Triangle EDX inks in the mimaki?
  10. Rant Crazy Prices

    I was using pioneer before Grimco bought them. Now Grimco won't deliver large substrates to me unless I order $1000 or more because I live in the middle of no where. I use Fellers for all of my triangle ink but just started buying from RJ Sign Supply. I like them so far but the shipping is a...
  11. Muddy Girl camo vinyl wraps

    Let me know if anyone is struggling to get Moonshine Camo vinyl....I can probably help you out. My wife is related to the owner and we live about a mile from the store.
  12. Jv 33 printhead cables

    Vander- Maybe they should be called FBC - Flat Bendable Cables? lol
  13. Jv 33 printhead cables

    Thank you Vander! I figured they could be bent but just checking before using them on a brand new printhead. Some dealers sell oem that are already pre-bent others sell them as generic straight cables.I know the JV33 pretty well as far as the maintenance aspect but this is the first head that...
  14. Jv 33 printhead cables

    You are correct. I just checked my invoice and I purchased them from MacMedia. The ones Apc sell are pre-bent to the correct angles. I am not going to take any chances and will just order the ones from American print consultants. The guys at Apc service mimaki so they would know what's best...
